What layers of the skin is affected in a 3rd degree burn?
A third-degree burn affects all layers of the skin, including the epidermis (the outer layer), the dermis (the middle layer), and the subcutaneous tissue (the deepest layer). This type of burn destroys these layers, often resulting in a loss of sensation due to damage to nerve endings. The affected area may appear white, charred, or leathery, and it typically requires medical treatment, including possible skin grafts for healing.

Second-degree burn
When the first layer of skin has been burned through and the second layer of skin (dermis) also is burned, the injury is called a second-degree burn. Blisters develop and the skin takes on an intensely reddened, splotchy appearance. Second-degree burns produce severe pain and swelling. If the second-degree burn is no larger than 3 inches (7.5 centimeters) in diameter, treat it as a minor burn. If the burned area is larger or if the burn is on the hands, feet, face, groin or buttocks, or over a major joint, treat it as a major burn and get medical help immediately. For minor burns, including first-degree burns and second-degree burns limited to an area no larger than 3 inches (7.5 centimeters) in diameter, take the following action: * Cool the burn. Hold the burned area under cold running water for at least five minutes, or until the pain subsides. If this is impractical, immerse the burn in cold water or cool it with cold compresses. Cooling the burn reduces swelling by conducting heat away from the skin. Don't put ice on the burn. * Cover the burn with a sterile gauze bandage. Don't use fluffy cotton, which may irritate the skin. Wrap the gauze loosely to avoid putting pressure on burned skin. Bandaging keeps air off the burned skin, reduces pain and protects blistered skin. * Take an over-the-counter pain reliever.These include aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), naproxen (Aleve) or acetaminophen (Tylenol, others). Never give aspirin to children or teenagers. Minor burns usually heal without further treatment. They may heal with pigment changes, meaning the healed area may be a different color from the surrounding skin. Watch for signs of infection, such as increased pain, redness, fever, swelling or oozing. If infection develops, seek medical help. Avoid re-injuring or tanning if the burns are less than a year old - doing so may cause more extensive pigmentation changes. Use sunscreen on the area for at least a year.

3rd degree burns need special treatment. Instead of a bubble showing up on your skin, the burn will go inside past the skin layer.

Go to the nearest clinic for professional help.

If it is a healed burn and is now just a scar, there should not be any reason you could not use Mederma. You do not want to use Mederma if the burn is not healed because Mederma is not made to make burns heal. It is made to fade already healed scars.
